      🌳 Palevsky Garden and the Olga Berggolts Monument

      ул. Ольги Берггольц, Палевский сад

      A bronze Olga Berggolts against a “ruined” wall with a radio antenna — opposite the house where the poet lived as a child.

      • The monument was installed on 3 May 2015 and unveiled on 16 May — marking Berggolts's birthday in both the old and new style.
      • Behind the figure is a granite wall resembling a fragment of a house destroyed in the war; the monument is 5 metres high.
      • The radio antenna on the wall is a sign that during the Siege Berggolts read poems on Leningrad Radio.
      • The idea for the monument came from local historians of Nevskaya Zastava and staff of District Library No. 3.
      • At the opening a lilac of the “Olga Berggolts” variety was planted.
